<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2000842, member: 27832&quot;]We can imagine any number of hypotheticals. Maybe somebody rolled out some silver-clad copper stock, punched some disks out of it, and contrived to slip them in among the clad planchets in 1996. Maybe it&#039;s not silver, but plutonium!</p><p><br /></p><p>But it&#039;s a <i>fact</i> that clad coins can tone in many different ways, and some of those look a lot like worn silver. There&#039;s no reason to believe your coin contains actual silver; in fact, by showing its edge and checking its weight, you&#039;ve produced solid evidence that it is an ordinary clad coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to do an acid test or take it to a shop with a scanner. Someone <i>might</i> have silver-plated it, but I haven&#039;t yet seen a silver-plating job that looked that much like a normal clad coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
